I wasn't going to post this, but I've been totally wiped out down to my underwear 4 times in my life and I recieved NO outside help to get back on MY feet. I did that ALONE!
In June, FEMA and Austin Tx, along with the Texas DWS setup a job fair/training for all the Katrina evacuees in the Austin area to be held at the ACC campus in East Austin.
Several of the evacuees said they had no transportation to get from the apartment complexes. So the city of Austin set up transportation for each of them to ensure they would be able to partake of job searching.The transportation consisted of nine buses and vans, to shuttle back and forth to the campus to ensure that the hundreds of people looking for jobs could be transported. The vehicles were brought right to their residences and every effort was made. Nine vans and buses transported a total of one person. Not one person per bus,one person total. At the end of the day, none of the Katrina Evacuees applied for any of the jobs.
